Cognitive Bias Episode 1 - Confirmation Bias

Peter and Mirta start a new series on cognitive bias! 

There are a few of the different cognitive biases that have a powerful influence on how you think, how you feel, and how you behave. Each episode will touch on a different bias. So make sure you tune in to them all!

This week Peter and Mirta talk about confirmation bias, and how it is the tendency to listen more often to information that confirms our existing beliefs. Through this bias, people tend to favour information that reinforces the things they already think or believe.
